Best Tools for fast prototyping in Hackathons

Hello and welcome to the tech desk of guiding point. This post is all about wireframing and creating a prototype of an app/ website before actually coding it. Well you must know what is a prototype. A prototype is a small working model of the actual project.

Creating a prototype will tell the requirements of the actual project. The developers /designers can use the prototyping tools in hackathons, startups or in business. Like for college students, they can create a prototype of their own project before jumping to the coding part.

Some of the most commonly used prototyping tools in the industry for UX

•  Invision- Runs on web. It is the best adoptable prototyping tool I have personally used.  You can see the prototype I created using Invision. We can create prototypes for android, iOS and web.

• Sketch - best mac OS  tool for rapid protyping
• Balsamiq- one of the best tool for creating and sharing wireframes.

• Wireframe.cc - It is another online tool for creating instant wireframes. This web service provides a simple and easy way to create wireframes with the power of virtual board and different designs.
